*** Lesson Details ***I believe that

classical technique provides a solid foundation for every singer. Within the first 3months my students will understand the basics of posture, breathing, tone placement, support, diction, and phrasing.

*** Travel Equipment ***I have a keyboard, and some sheet music. I would prefer the student to have a piano, and sheet music

*** Specialties ***I have a B.A. in Classical Voice, and have taken 1 semester of pop voice

Sarah is a fantastic teacher! She's patient, gives good constructive criticism, and is very flexible. My granddaughter loves her. I would recommend her to others.

Eva G. July 2, 2015·Singing·In home

Sarah is very patient with my daughter. She tailors the class to her personality. She gets her to do the class in a fun way. She makes the class enjoyable but still focuses on her growth. She pushes Alexa enough to keep her going. She motivates her to learn. My daughter looks forward to her lessons. Recommend!

About Kay B.

I have been teaching dance for over 20 years. I specialize in ballet, tap, and jazz. I also teach lyrical.

About Kay

I have been teaching Piano for 16 years now. I have taught students from age 2 1/2 - Adult. I was self-taught when I was a kid and begun taking formal lessons as a very young adult in my early twenties. I graduated from CSULB with my BA in Music with a concentration on Voice. As a Music major you spend a lot of time at the Piano. I became a member of MTAC in 2004 and a member of Sigma Alpha Iota in 1998. I have a great passion for Music and a bigger passion for the Piano and sharing the wonders of how beautiful the Piano really is.

*** Lesson Details ***In my opinion, piano is the hardest instrument to learn but the most rewarding. If you can play piano you can pretty much play any instrument. I believe that a piano lesson should be fun. I'm a strict teacher with a smile and a giggle. I push my students to greatness while helping the

m love the piano through the good times and the bad. I'm a very encouraging but honest teacher. I compliment when warranted and I assess not so good performances in an honest but encouraging manner. I always let a student know that though their performance was not their best, they can and will improve. It's always only a matter of time. I use the Schaum and Nevin series depending on the student's personality. I teach Classical and Pop Music. It's important for a student to learn the Classics just as important as it is for them to play things they like. I find the happy balance between the two. I teach Beginning to Intermediate levels. I also like to incorporate Music theory into the lessons because understanding the mechanics of Music helps make playing and creating Music much easier to accomplish. A typical lesson will start off with a hand drill warm up. We then will move on to the lesson book and repertoire. Theory will be assigned as homework. I look it over at the beginning of the lesson and discuss it and answer any questions in the last five minutes of class. Baby lessons go as followed: 15 mins. of play time and 15 mins of Music theory. I like to keep structure in my lessons but sprinkle a little joy and laughter to keep the atmosphere light. It makes for a much more attentive Piano student.

*** Travel Equipment ***I expect the student to have a Piano or Keyboard of some sort. I may provide music on occasion.

About Darren W.

My name is Darren. I am a part of the dance crew the Kinjaz from NBC's World of Dance and America's Best Dance Crew Season 8, and I specialize in teaching Basic Hip Hop and Breakin'/Breakdancing.

Here is what you can expect from our lessons together...

On the day we have our lesson you will either travel to my location (Glendale) where our lesson will take place in my loft or I can travel to your location and we will have our lesson at your location (there is a travel fee if you are located more then 5 miles away)

Our lesson will consist of basic dance movements to teach you the basics and foundation you need to know in order to learn choreography and freestyle on your own. You will also learn a small combination or drill utilizing those movements so you can practice them on your own.

After our lesson, you will receive a video tutorial on the movements you were taught so you can refer back to it in case you forget any details.

You will also be able to send me a video ...

About Darren

Darren R. Wong is a member of The Kinjaz from NBC's World of Dance and has been teaching, performing and choreographing in the Hip Hop community for 13 years.

He has also been a part of world-renowned Hip Hop organizations such as Culture Shock LA and Kaba Modern and spent 4 years on the faculty of the Claire Trevor School School of the Arts at the University of California, Irvine as an adjunct lecturer of Breakin'.

He has been sharing his experience and knowledge by teaching and training dancers of all skill levels, from college performing arts programs, dance studios and online students from around the world, how to break with the knowledge that he has been fortunate enough to gain.

Darren's goal is to share what dance has given him in his life by providing in person or online dance courses for up and coming dancers who may b

e intimidated or self-conscious to start dancing or do not have access to experienced teachers or a dance studio with classes that interest them around them.

His courses allow both new and experienced dancers from all over the world to have access to an experienced teacher who understands the ins and outs of how to break down movements to its simplest form, so a student can confidently learn a movement with correct technique, execute them to music and piece them together to create their own combinations whenever and wherever without having to step foot into a studio.

He aspires not only to help those in his local dance community, but also dance communities worldwide who may not have direct access to the techniques and knowledge that was shared with him.

Totally awesome would hire him again!

Michael November 29, 2015·Dance·Online

My experience with Darren was nothting short of outstanding! He has a neverending wheelhouse of moves that he can teach you. More importantly, he can help any bboy or regular dancer with the most important aspect of dance: staying on beat 100% of the time while doing these moves! He was kind, patient, punctual, and very talented. Anyone who wants to learn dance the right way can accelerate their learning by working with Darren!

Darrell T. November 17, 2015·Breakdancing·Online

Darren was very patient and nonjudgmental. I think he is a very good instructor. I was a little unsure as to how well a dance lesson would go over the internet but he put those fears to rest. I give him five stars for his knowledge and because he made me feel comfortable.

Annette September 29, 2017·Dance·In studio

I love Denise! Denise is patient and kind which is wonderful as a teacher. She creates a safe space, but she's also constructive with her criticisms and how to improve. She's also nurturing which I think is an excellent quality to have as a dance teacher as she's respectful of all dancers of other levels/experience. She loves to fun during class too! I love attending class because not only do I learn how to become a better dancer, but she makes it fun too.

About Devon N.

My approach to Bellydance is all about body awareness. I work with students on understanding body mechanics in order to eventually be able to layer increasingly complex, grounded and fluid movements. Wether your goal is professional dance or simply to enjoy a new hobby, classes are tailored to your needs!

Private classes are 30 mins-2 hours. The first half of class focuses exercises to help pinpoint the right muscles. The second half is on our feet performing drills and dancing!

About Devon

Hi there, I’m a Bellydance teacher and performer based in Los Angeles!

I began belly dancing at the age of twelve with Tracy Windisch at the School of Performing Arts and Cultural Education in Ukiah California. At age 14 I joined her company Troupe Sattya who performed in festivals, private parties, and shows in Northern California including Health and Harmony, Sol Fest, and Tribal Fest.

Since my teacher came from the Suhaila Salimpour studio, I am a third generation student of her style which is a fusion of Cabaret and tribal belly dance. This school of technique teaches the methodical discovery of specific muscles as a foundation in order to isolate and layer movements in a precise and healthy manner. I also have training in modern, ballet and jazz technique.

About Monia H.

Hey there! I'm a professional dancer, dance instructor, and choreographer. I've been training in dance for 20 years now! My specialty is hip-hop (all levels). In addition to hip-hop, I am currently teaching private lessons in contemporary (beginner, intermediate), ballet (beginner), and jazz (beginner). I enjoy watching the growth and journey of a student as they take chances and explore the creative movements within their body! It's my job to help you to comfortably become one with your movements, find out who you are as an artist, and most importantly, have fun! I look forward to hearing from you :)

About Monia

Hi, I'm Monia! I'm 23 years old, and I love to dance. I began dancing at the young age of four back in my hometown, St. Louis, Missouri. When I was 13, my family and I moved to Atlanta, Georgia where I truly began to take my craft seriously. I attended hip-hop and contemporary classes regularly at studios like Gotta Dance Atlanta, Dance 411, and my dance team at the time, Future Shock Atlanta. Shortly, I began to book small jobs such as choreographing for Young Money's Cymia and Torion. Once I realized that I could be successful in making this my career, I decided that it was time to go full force and move to where you go to be a star, Los Angeles!

an artist development coach/choreographer for Sony Entertainment's, InRage Entertainment music label, and a choreographer for sporadic gigs and consistently for the popular 80's band, "Ready For the World" (Remember that song called "Oh Sheila?").

During lessons, students can expect to learn the fundamentals of not just dance, but the art of movement. We will focus on body strengthening and stretching, understanding rhythm, breathing properly to increase stamina, learning how to flow with music, picking up choreography, creating different dynamics while dancing, and finding out who you are as an artist.

I feel that acquiring new skills is important, but I feel that the best part about teaching dance lessons is watching a student's journey! It's so much fun to be able to act as a guide as a student learns new skills, becomes comfortable with them, and makes them into their own. I believe that every one is capable of reaching their goals with hard work, and I am 100% dedicated to working hard with you!
